Glazed Blueberry Lime Scones

The citrus in the scones adds the perfect combination with the blueberries!

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon lime zest

1 stick unsalted butter, frozen

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (I used fresh)

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons lime juice

1 splash vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. Set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and lime zest.

In a small bowl grate butter. Its very important to make sure the butter is frozen. Place the grated butter into the flour mixture and combine using a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse meal.

In a small bowl whisk together heavy cream, egg and vanilla until combined. Slowly pour cream mixture into flour mixture and mix using a spatula until batter is moistened and just comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Flour both hands and work the dough into a ball the best you can, then transfer to a floured surface. Create an 8 inch disc and cut into 8 equal wedges. Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle each scone with sugar, if desired.

Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown and cooked through. Remove and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.

To make the glaze, add all glaze ingredients into a small bowl and mix until smooth. Drizzle glaze over scones and serve.
